<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1724017, member: 112&quot;]Many, if not most, will tell you that copper cannot be successfully dipped. That is because that most of the time, and some will say all of the time, dipping copper results in a coin with an unnatural color.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, just like with silver coins, common sense says otherwise. Coins tone - all of them - it is the very nature of metal for it to tone, tarnish, or corrode if you prefer. And as long as a coin is exposed to the air it is going to tone, it cannot be stopped. And since we still, even today, do not have even 1 airtight coin holder or airtight method of coin storage - then all coins are and always have been exposed to the air.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is why it is accepted as fact that, other than Morgan dollars, just about any older silver coin that you see that is not toned - has been dipped. And since copper is far more reactive than silver, then it stands to reason that just about any older copper coin that you see that is not toned - has been dipped. And successfully so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said, common sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
